Closing the AI Reality Gap

Join the IU12 Ed Tech PD team as they cut through the hype to explore the reality of AI in K-12 education, bridging the gap between district leadership assumptions and actual classroom practices. We dive into why human relationships and student connection remain irreplaceable by algorithms, while unpacking how educators can shift from viewing AI as a product generator to an interactive thought partner. Finally, we outline a sustainable "yellow light" framework for school implementation and discuss what true AI and data literacy will look like for tomorrow's graduates.
